LOUISVILLE, Kr., Oct. 6.-The Kentucky
Commercial and Industrial Conference
was addressed by the Hon. William D.
Kelley, oi Pennsylvania, after he had been
banqueted at the Pendennis Club. Y
Ho was introduced by the Hon. Henry
'Vattsrson, who stated that he had bsen
asked to do 60 only a few moments before,
but he reioicedto welcome as fearless, hon.
eat and able a man as the noted PennsyI.
vanian, whatever position he occupied.
No man could say that he (Watteluon)
had not always been in favor OF full and
free discussion Of the tariff. He had
served on tho Ways and Means Commit.
teo in Congress- with Mr.. Kelley, and had
never known him to be otherwise than
honest, fair and considerate. g'''TT 80

cause he was indebted to them for hospi.
tality which had been extended by MI,
Kelley to him and could avail himself OF
the opportunity to reciprocate. N
Mr.. Kelley was greeted with hearty an.
plause from we'll filled house, and was
listened to with deep interest through
speech Of over an hour. Ha thanked the
Board Of Trade for their invitation to visit
Louisville. He said he wanted 10 AJAX a
question OF. two about Kentucky. Why
was Kentucky laggard-laggard among
the Statea? Why, with the bravest men
and most beautiful women In tho world,
the fastest racers and stock; why, with a
soil whose combination Of coal and iron
in state Of readiness equal to any in the
Union; why, as he had heard stated in
the conference last night, was there such
an immigration from the Bluo Grasa re-.
Rious with their wealth and others with
their riches Of coal and iron -5Rl -
He then proceeded to speak of his trip
through the eooth in words Of great
praise. After the adjournment of Con.
gress he had started southyard with his
vile, going frat to Florida, which be
thought would be the frat agricultural
State Of the Union, the winter farm and
garden Of America. He gave Florida ex-
travagant praise, eulogizins its climate.
and the wonderful capabilities Of the eoil,
He returned from that trip with the regret
that he had not visited Kentucky. Soma
OF his audience was doub,leaa asking why
he came here anyway, outside OF that in
vitation. Mr.. Kelly hero took the house
with an amusing reference to hiB visit in
Tallsdegs. He had been told that he
would have full house. but not bro.
tectionist in It.. One Of the gentlemen
who had escorted him to the hall had told
him he would bave at least one Republi.
can auditor, the negro porter Of the hall.
That one was enough, however, with the
Lord against the mighty, he would anawer
as he had ct Rome, Ga. he came to plead
with his hearers 10 avail themselves OF
almost llmitless resources in coal, iron
and charcoal, especially the last, which
was becoming so scarce in Pennsylvanis,
and to compete with Pennsylvania, Ken.

Pennsylvania for $l00 per acre. ~ tlg,55
The trouble with the South was that It
needed diversity Of interests. Too many
people were engaged IN raising cotton. In
Massachusetts, where there was such d.
veraity, the amount Of money in the saw
ings banks would buy every corporation
IN the State of Alabama, railroads snd all.
He held that the tariff would help diver
sify the interests OF Kentucky. Ken.
lucky had once led the iron producing
statea of the South, now Bhp was fifth.
Alabama was fourth OF the iron producing
States Of the Union. Kentucky, with iron
and coal equal in quality, if the reports
made to him were true, to the maguii.

He then went into a lengthy defense OF
the tariff. alleging it's great benefit to the
nation. He referred to Henry Clay. and
said that if his theory had been followed
concerning the tariff, the civil war would
not have occurred. Concerning Kentucky.
there must be something wrong. Tie
mountain counties, with all their wealth
OF soil, were pauper counties, In this

Bessemer steel process, William Ksnney.
Lexington had formerly shipped cut nails
to Pennaylvsnia--not so now. What was
the trouble? It was the lack Of diversi.

to do the same thing. The speaker thon
